A small external guard and an ergonomically designed handle with a flared pommel section — Adra epitomises comfort and functionality.

For those who seek an even tougher edge, Adra is also available with a micro bevel grind.

The Adra is a pivotal knife within our bushcraft collection — the model that covers the classic woodland day: carving, fire preparation, food, and everything between.

The geometry

The 100mm blade runs a 24mm width with an extended, flatter spine leading to a precise drop point — a shape that gives fine tip control for detailed work while keeping a full, useful edge. The flatter spine takes a firesteel cleanly and gives the thumb an honest landing for detail cuts; the drop point keeps the tip strong without blunting its precision. For those who want a tougher edge still, the Adra is also offered with a micro bevel grind.

Comfort as a feature

A small external guard and an ergonomically shaped handle with a flared pommel let the knife anchor naturally in the hand through long sessions. The Adra epitomises comfort and functionality — the knife you forget you have been using for three hours, which in a carving session is the highest compliment available.

Adra or Bran?

The honest answer: the Bran is broader and more instructor-proven; the Adra is slimmer, lighter, and arguably the more comfortable carver. Handling both settles it quickly, and neither choice is wrong — they are two temperaments of the same woodland philosophy.

Built to specification

No Adra is pulled from a shelf. At commission you choose the steel — stainless RWL-34, PMC27 or AEB-L, carbon O1, or our in-house stainless Damascus, pattern-welded in Petworth from RWL-34 and PMC27 in patterns from Ladder to Odin’s Eye. Each has its own character; we will talk you through what suits the work you have in mind.

The handle is shaped to the blade from your choice of materials — stabilised woods and burls to fossilised mammoth ivory — and finished with standard or mosaic pins. Engraving is done in-house: initials, crests, and species studies fine enough to count the hairs.

The sheath

We make every sheath here, moulded precisely to the individual knife. Most Adras go out in leather — black, brown, or a colour of your choosing, with hand-tooling and engraved silver panels available for presentation pieces — though Kydex on our hybrid leather system is the right answer for hard, wet use.

Yours, on the record

No two Adras leave the workshop quite alike, and each one is treated accordingly: numbered, recorded in the ledger, warranted for life against manufacturing defects, and dispatched sharpened, papered and insured. It is the sort of record-keeping that matters on the day a knife becomes an inheritance.

When you are ready, design yours in the design tool or simply start the conversation — the finished piece always comes out of one.
